In the near future there will be tablet PCs that will revolutionize social media, book reading, magazine reading, internet browsing, photo viewing, etc, etc....
What got me thinking is the fact that people will be designing these things to be ergonomic enough to hold with one hand while walking, and entering data and information on the go. This would be useful for doctors who need to pull up medical charts quickly, and other people who need to constantly be moving around on foot.
Which got me thinking even more....
I think that in the near future, there will be a revolution in the way we type, based on the assumption that Tablet PCs will be the future of computing. I think that traditional typing will still be taught, but a new typing structure will emerge. A typing structure that only uses one hand.
If you think about it, the design aspects are quite simple. The typing face would be a narrow rectangle, with a space bar spanning the whole left side vertically, and then 4 rows of keys, for your 4 fingers. It would work, it would just be a new way to type, just like there are people who can operate 10 button phone texting with blazing speeds.
